£*Urtiott!s. The constitutionality of the Black Laws of Illinois, under which colored people are excluded from the commonwealth, is to be tested in the Supreme court of that State. The school trustees of London, C. W., having excluded the colored children from the public schools, and compelled them to attend separate schools, the matter was brought before John Wilson, Queen's counsel, and that gentleman has decided that the trustees have no right to open separate schools, except at the request of twelve colored families. From the Rdinbr.rg Review, Jan. 1862. Review of Sewell's Ordeal of Free Labor in the British West Indies. (Continued.) Again speaking of Grenada, he shows, that though the exportation of sugar may have decreased within the last thirty years still the general cultivation of the land has not decreased. The negro has preferred cultivating, cocoa, coffee, and oranges for his own profit, to labouring on the sugar estate of another. The planter may suffer in consequence, ...

Dreaming of the Negro. THE PACIFIC APPEAL. SAN FRANCISCO : | SATURDAY, MAY 23, 1863. It is truly amusing to see what tricks Copperhead politicians will resort to in order to delude the ignorant into joining in with them. It is also a lamentable fact that there are men who are permitted to exercise the elective franchise who accept the deceptive fallacies of the enemy, evidently manufactured for the occasion. On Tuesday last, the municipal election was held in San Francisco. There were two contending parties, as usual, in the field — the People's and the Citizen's. What the local officers of this city have to do with the contrabands of the South we areata loss to discover; but there are men who are continually dreaming of the negro, and must have him "in the fence" somewhere—their every thought is encumbered with the apparition of the negro. Some of this stripe of electioneerers went into conclave before election-day, and " like the mountain in labor to bring forth a mouse," the resu...

An Important Letter frcm Governor Andrew. We cut the following interesting letter from the pages of the Anglo-African, to the editor of which, the epistle was liaudcd by the recipient. Commonwealth of Massachusetts, ) Executive Department. V Boston, March 23, '63.) George T. Downing, Esq., N. Y.: Dear Sir—ln reply to your inquiries made as to the position of colored men who may be enlisted and mustered into the volunteer service of the United States, I would say that their position in respect to pay, equipments, bounty, or any aid and protection, when so mustered, will be precisely the same, in every particular, as that of any and all other volunteers. I desire further to state to you, that when I was in Washington on one occasion, in au interview with Mr. Stanton, the Secretary of War, he stated, in the most emphatic manner, that he would never consent that free colored men should be accepted into the service to serve as soldiers in the South, until he should be assured that the Go...

Communications. For tlic Pacific Appeal. The School Teachers' Convention.—Mr. Minn's Address. Mr. Editor—Last week a Convention of Teachers was held in our city, under the auspices of the State Teachers' Institute. The objects of this Convention were, to inquire into the conditions of the schools, methods of instruction, the defects therein ; to suggest improvements, rsise the standard of teaching, bring teachers acquainted with each other, create unity of sentiment, engender and quicken the esprit du coi-ps among them, elevate the calling, and give fresh impetus to the cause of education throughout the State. There were nearly 800 teachers in coun cil, from all parts of the State, and from beyond the limits of California. It was a noble sight to see them. For six days they were in session, giving and receiving the results of years of study—observation and experience of teaching in its various grades, methods and brauches. It added much to the interest of the proceedings, from day t...

l For the Pacific Appeal. To A—. Sketching from Nature. BY J. M. WIIITFIEI.D. Yes. priestess at the shrine of Art, Continue still to sketch from Nature ; And let her charms inspire thy heart To be her humble imitator. Her flocks and herds, her plains and hills, Her bright cascades, her sunny fountains, Her babbling brooks, her gentle rills, Her dark ravines, her towering mountains, Her cataracts, her placid lakes, The gentle stream, the boundless ocean, Which on the shore in thunder breaks. When tempests set the waves in motion ; The clouds which deck the sunset sky, With varying huos arrayed before you, Whose brilliunt tints attract the eye, And dazzle with their blaze of glory,— Require a hand well trained by Art, To trace their grandeur, grace and beauty, May it be thine to fill the part, And thus peform a pleasing duty.

IXatwt Jckptpluc Quite an excitement occurred on the evening of the 7th at the opera in New Orleans, occasioned by the audience demanding that the National airs be played, but nothing serious resulted. The New Orleans Era of the 6th gives the particulars of the burning of the shlp-of-war Preble at Pensacola on the 27th of April. The fire was accidental, and the vessel, after burning for several hours, blew up. All hands were saved. The Times' army correspondent says that Stuart is, for the present, in command of 1 Jackson's corps, which consists of four full divisions of fifteen thousand men each. I Washington, May 17th.—It has been as- ' certained from a gentlemen returning from ' the Army of the Potomac that Gen.

American speakers and journals there is no nation for which Americans entertain a greater regard than for England, and that if the real sentiments of each people could be clearly established to each other, he would have no fear of a collision. He believed that the traders and Unionists had taken the right course to produce such an understanding. Col. Thorpe, from Gen. Banks' Department, states that Gen. Uhlinan's Brigade is more than filled, and that the new country just opened by Bank' campaign will furnish two or three Divisions of negroes, in response to the call for a corps de Afrique. There is no doubt but the rebels are engaged in raising negro regiments, as it is only froin such materials they can raise troops, as they can in none of the extreme Southern States recruit their ranks. The negroes are not backward in adopting the U. S. uniform, which is their death-warrant if taken by the rebels. Cincinnati, May 19th.—A general order was issued yesterday, announcing the fining of...
